Intel adds USB interface to new D456 depth camera

intel d456 depth camera

Intel introduced its D456 depth camera at RoboBusiness, which took place last week in Santa Clara, Calif. The D456 is the second IP65-rated camera in Intel’s D400 stereo product line, adding a USB interface option for easier out-of-the-box integration.

Intel said the RealSense D456 is based on its longest-range D455 USB camera with three global shutter sensors and IMU. The camera integrates an IMU to allow robots to refine their depth awareness in any situation where the camera moves. This allows for improved environmental awareness for robots and drones.

The D456 has an IP65-rated enclosure, which is dust-tight and protected from projected water. According to Intel, the D456 is designed to address challenges for robot applications in outdoor and ruggedized environments. It features an ideal range of .6 meters to 6 meters with depth accuracy of <2% at 4 meters.

Other specs of the RealSense D456 depth camera include:

    • Depth Field of View: 87° × 58°
    • Depth Stream Output Resolution: Up to 1280 × 720
    • Depth Stream Output Frame Rate: Up to 90 fps
    • RGB Frame Resolution: 1280 × 800
    • RGB Frame Rate: 30 fps

Intel said its SDK is platform-independent and supports all current Intel RealSense depth cameras and includes wrappers for many common platforms and languages.

The Intel 456 depth sensor is available now for $469 directly from Intel or from authorized distributors.

Intel showcased its RealSense technology at RoboBusiness 2023.

In March 2022, Intel released the RealSense D405 Depth Camera, a short-range stereo camera it said provides sub-millimeter accuracy. The Intel RealSense D405 Depth Camera is designed for robotics applications that require “close range depth sensing.” Some of the ideal applications, according to Intel, include automated inspection and high-precision pick and place for small objects at close range.

In May 2023, Christine Boles, VP of the Network & Edge Group (NEX) and GM of Intel’s Federal and Industrial Solutions, appeared on The Robot Report Podcast. Robotics at Intel falls under Federal and Industrial Solutions, so Boles plays a pivotal role in developing Intel’s solutions roadmap for robotics developers.

We talked to her about the key technologies available today from Intel, including software, hardware and sensors essential for robotics development. We’ll also learn what new technologies will be coming out from Intel in the near future. The interview with Boles starts at 28:52 and can be heard below.

Chipotle testing avocado processing robot in test kitchen

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
